The Women’s Giving Circle, a fund of the Mankato Area Foundation, brings women in our community together to make a difference through philanthropy.
Created to amplify the power of collective giving, the Circle connects women in a purposeful way—because when women and children thrive, our community prospers.
Through this fund, grants are distributed to projects and programs that improve the lives of women and children throughout Greater Mankato.
